"What if to live is to be dead,
And to be dead is but to live."
How vain the claret grief we shed,
If death has nobler life to give.
What if the body is a tomb,
The fertile soil of sacred light;
Upon the temp'ral death, a womb,
From which the spirit soars in flight.
What if the lie that blinds the eye,
Conceals the breadth of treachery?
Unveil the truth, each spirit try,
Regard the Cosmic mystery!

"Who knows if to live is to be dead, and to be dead, to live? And we really, it may be, are dead; in fact I once heard sages say that we are now dead, and the body is our tomb ..." [470-399BC,Socrates. Plato,427-347BC) Gorgias 492e]
